lakelands
Watery scenic districts
Lakelands are regions characterized by numerous lakes, typically formed by glacial activity and prized for their scenic beauty.
The term often appears in proper names—the English Lake District, Minnesota's lakeland region, Florida's Lakeland area.
We spent summers in the lakelands of northern Wisconsin.
The landscape suggests recreation, vacation homes, and natural preservation.
